across the whole of germany i share the deep pain shell today by the people of han all over the brutal deaths of so many of our fellow citizens. i'm a lark thank you so much for your company everyone when we begin this broadcast with a community in germany reeling from the murder of 10 people in a terror attack a suspected far right extremist with a gun walked into to shisha bars in the city of hono near frankfurt he targeted people of color and shot them execution style the suspect was a 43 year old german who national police have identified as toby s r is said to have later killed himself and his mother and their apartment. the morning after in hanoi. residents woke up to speculation that far right extremism

motivated attacks in their neighborhood the severity of the incident is being felt far beyond the city strong condemnation from the german chancellor. racism is poison heater it is poison and this poison exists in our society and it is to blame for far too many crimes already. at 10 o'clock last night local time the shooter opened fire in a hookah bar and killed 4 people before driving to a 2nd venue where he shot dead 5 more people the bar owner son describes what happened. it was like a massacre. around cage there was blood everywhere people on the ground. my kids and i were in good spirits. i live 100 meters from here and when i went upstairs i had 567 shots that's what i saw and.

i know i was at st john's a service of on the one hand you feel a bit powerless and on the other hand i don't want to call it fear but it's something like that that you have to be afraid to go out on to go to a bar but also a good. many of the victims are believed to be of turkish or kurdish descent. prosecutors say the gunmen had a motive following the discovery of a confession letter the attack is being treated as an act of terror the suspect had uploaded a video to you tube a few days earlier in which he expressed his extremist ideology. the suspect along with his 72 year old mother were later found dead in his home. police are searching the property and seizing items of interest as part of their investigation

. he looked out of the window and saw a lot of police officers. around $25.00 to $30.00 with 20 because and dogs and they were running around. since. the attack comes amid growing concerns about far right violence in germany investigations are ongoing. all right the german president is due to visit the scene of the terror attack in hono any moment now and the arts ozy is there for you and. the kind they made with care that if you take a look after their right in the studio i want to go as straight to arts because i was seeing some commotion behind you and i was wondering if president steinmeyer is already at the scene. that's right he just arrived there steinmeyer and to some of the people have been yelling at him in the crowd what are

you going to do about right wing extremism in germany and so i mean the emotions are very high here some people are very very upset just about an hour ago another man had iterate again some of the journalists here yelling at them saying that they are partly to blame for all of this perhaps referring to the fact that some of the more right wing oriented parties get a fair bit of coverage in the media all right and as you're reporting we're getting the latest pictures of president steinmeier who is about to leave flowers near the crime scene so get the reception hasn't been all that welcoming. yeah that's right i mean he just got a little bit of sporadic applause just now but very little again many people here just don't think that germany the german government rather is doing enough or doing the right steps let's say to rein in this this this this sort of tide of right wing extremism seen

a full. time migrants and to immigrants sentiments that it does occur from time to time here and in this case in this city resulted in a bloodbath so that people are very upset and are desperate for some kind of a solution because this problem has been ongoing for a long time especially since about 2015. 1000000 have people were allowed into germany from very troubled areas in the world oh well meant by germany well meant by the german chancellor but it also had its detractors and and getting also those detractors getting a lot of supporters all right are where to go now to make it with me here in the studio for the political angle this is a very painful moment specially for a president it's time i who really has been at the forefront of the condemning hate crimes obscene. you know i just want to remind ourselves that only a few weeks ago he was standing in israel and he was saying in the face of 75

since the fall of course that he wished that germany had learned the lessons of its nazi past but he couldn't say that and i think this will be a very difficult day for him as well to once again face such an attack in october it was the attack on a synagogue it was an anti semitic attack there with 2 bystanders being killed the door was closed to the synagogue day it appears to be a far right extremist attack that he's commemorating visiting this community and. this really is yet again a sign that hate is a poison german chancellor angela merkel and at politicians being somewhat at a loss of how they can expect to be exactly the same helpless i mean you see there the president and his entourage observing the silence there paying respect to the

victims what is the way forward. that's the thing that we heard from syria minister . today who said that politicians now have to take responsibility for this situation and have to ask themselves what steps they need to take there's a recognition across the political spectrum except for the far right. that the political climate has become a lot rougher here in many with many parties into the social democrats coming out today and direct blaming the rise of the far right. and i quote. the leader of i'm going to michael see do you creating the conditions upon which this these kind of violence attacks then eventually take place of let's go back to her know what the president making his way through the crowd. are what is the move there you've been talking to people there one of the telling you are they

disappointed by the german political stop. yes of course they're disappointed they're sad they're frustrated they're mad to i mean he was heckled a little bit just now and so they need a solution to how many they're asking this question how many people have to die before you really put your foot down of course germany is a democracy there's freedom of speech things like that but where is the borderline between freedom of speech and hate mongering and that is a very very difficult borderline to cross either way and and how do you how does that stand up in court and i think these are the big dilemmas the big questions that are facing not just the german government but many governments around the world. who lives there. i'm sorry say it again. kind of town is that it's not far from frankfurt it's

small. but it's like. it's a small city $100000.00 blue color semi skilled workers still workers are skilled workers taxi driver told me that people generally earn considerably less than in other parts of germany have to work 2 jobs just to make ends meet tensions because of that money problems there's a drug scene here it's problematic there is it can get dangerous sometimes but it's not like. it's you know there are some fights things like that but i mean. to use a gun on someone that rarely ever happens there's a. few years but i mean. mash murder like what happened here no they never expected that they never saw that coming that's what hurts them so much they never saw it

coming on the end there are mixed marriages there are friends things like that sometimes ok some fights but i mean how things are said you are to their advantage the president is the same as you find you owe me and he decided not to speak. there's a commemoration there as well. being that potentially so he might just be attending the case and want to see what's going on right now we are going to stay on top of that for now thank you very much art so we'll get back to you later and. as. talk just about this commemoration what can we expect i mean is that the usual what we just saw hours do we expect him to address the crowd say something in terms i would expect him to come forward and actually address the crowd that people think gathering that were out the day of of course on the ground of been reporting meanwhile on social media. there have been literally dozens of

communities and many who are gathering round about now actually do so solidarity there's also a big gathering here in berlin this evening for germans who want to show solidarity with those victims who were basically from the heart of a community who 5 of whom also had turkish citizenship that doesn't mean they want germany has a decades long history of immigration from turkey so this is all also happening you know just with all this talk and this debate and the accusations towards the far right if the the f.t. protesting that this was an instrumental ization of such an attack against them. we will see a lot of this bickering going on but i think this evening we will see people come out in force across germany and this evening's of course about the victims and commemorating them thank you so much for i stand by stay with me even you later on all right wing extremist terror attacks in germany have increased in recent years

here's a look back at some of the most serious incidents that unfolded. for many in germany this woman is the face of far right terror in the country be outta shape i was convicted in 2018 found guilty for being part of the n.s.u. terror group behind a killing spree that shocked the nation. together with bernhard and. she toured the country in this camper van killing 10 people between 200-2007. almost all the victims were of turkish descent. schaefer surrendered to police after her accomplices committed suicide barely a year after shapers conviction germany was rocked by another murder linked to a far right extremist a man with a string of convictions for violent anti migrant crime confessed to shooting a local politician for the governing c.d.u. party at his home. after he defended germany's refugee policy volatile became the

target of rightwing vitriol. last october a 27 year old tried to force his way into a synagogue in the eastern city of howler with the intention of staging a bloodbath on yom kippur war the holiest day in the jewish calendar. 20 failed to break into the synagogue he killed 2 people in a rampage through the city. the perpetrator lifestream the attack on a gaming website. and just a week ago police arrested 12 men across germany suspected of membership in a group planning a series of attacks on mosques in up to 10 different cities police seized a pistol and a homemade shotgun. officers also found chemicals they believe the men were planning to use to make explosives. a short while ago i spoke to young son pierre

security expert and counterterrorism advisor and i began by asking him whether there was more information about the letter and the video that the u.s. perpetrator posted on social media. the important part of the letter as well as the video is not the the ramblings about really outrageous. conspiracy theories but rather the alignment with the much broader conspiracy theory which is the idea of great to great replacements which is an idea that spawn in the seventy's and grain to gain even more traction it was more developed in more detail in 2011 in france and this is the theory that advocates that there is a conspiracy at work to replace western populations with migrant populations and since 2015 a lot of the proponents of these and supporters of this theory i feel vindicated through i get america's policy back then and it's prompted a lot of the fart rights. extremists and terrorists to act upon those ideas and

what we saw in the manifesto as well as the video published by.
